Open Cup Nights

It's that time again, the US Open Cup semifinals are upon us and interim Union head coach Jim Curtin has a massive opportunity in front of him. But where does he stand as the club searches for a permanent leader? How complicated was that Carlos Valdes transfer? How has Zac MacMath taken the news that he'll no longer be No. 1? Oh, and can this team make a run at MLS Cup? All the answers just a click away.

SI.com's Brian Straus also joins the guys to give his input on the Jermaine Jones saga, DeAndre Yedlin's seemingly impending transfer, Landon Donovan's legacy and getting taken down a peg by a coach or player. You won't want to miss it.

ETR Book Club:

After a month of consuming the 2014 World Cup, you probably think you know everything there is to know about it. Well, James Montague will make you think again with "Thirty-One Nil" featuring stories you likely never heard about in the lead-up to Brazil. We spoke to Montague about his adventures around the world and if you haven't yet ordered the book, you'll likely be tempted to after listening to our special Book Club edition.
